The problem with doing this with SOME laptops is the the jack socket is too sensitive and it can be difficult to get the level from the cassette player low enough to avoid distortion.
To install Audacity, just run the installer and accept the defaults.įor making CDs you do NOT need the optional “LAME” or “FFmpeg” add-ons.Ĭonnecting a cassette player to the microphone/earphone combo jack on the laptop is not ideal, but “may” work. The link that you need is the first one “Audacity 2.3.0 installer (25.46 MB, includes help files)” The current version of Audacity for Windows is 2.3.0, which you can get here: Audacity runs fine on 32-bit and 64-bit Windows.
